- Hovertruck 15y agoDont' forget "Go"
- nddrylliog 15y agoActually, do forget it.
- joejohnson 15y agoI don't think Google is intentionally taking already-used names. There are only so many good project names.
- cookiecaper 15y agoThe confusion caused by naming a browser "Chrome" would have been really obvious to anyone involved in browser hacking.
- gmurphy 15y agoThe lead frontend engineer on Chrome was previously the lead frontend engineer on Firefox, and many other people on the team worked on browsers forever - we all knew what 'chrome' meant in a technical context long before we called it that. But we still liked 'Chrome' more than the other names, and our motto is "content, not Chrome", which neatly works with either capitalization.
